First look at the American 'Shameless'!

It's been a long time coming, but a trailer for the US version of Shameless has finally arrived! Just over a year after Showtime announced the pilot, the network has released a three-minute long preview. If you're a fan of the British series, you might enjoy noticing all the similarities. Frank Gallagher - this time played by William H Macy - even has his own "party" line!

Shameless begins on January 9 at 10pm on Showtime.
